21. 2008 Draft Class

The 2008 draft class wasn't bad or anything; it just wasn't that great.

The top two quarterbacks, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco, haven't developed into the "elite passer" that they should be right now, while the other notable players, aside from Jake Long, have shown signs of being elite, but for the most part, have been good but not great.

19. 1994 Draft Class

The 1994 class didn't produce a whole ton of talent, but it did produce one Hall of Famer in running back Marshall Faulk. I certainly think that it's safe to say that Faulk is one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game.

The '94 class also consisted of two great defenders in defensive end/outside linebacker Willie McGinest and safety Rodney Harrison—who is one of two people to have 30 career sacks and 30 career interceptions.

16. 1993 Draft Class

Hall of Famer Willie Roaf highlights this draft class, while Drew Bledsoe was the first-overall pick by the New England Patriots and really had a successful career, as he compiled 251 touchdowns throughout his 14-year career.

The '93 class certainly had its depth at quarterback, with Bledsoe, Trent Green and Mark Brunell, as well as one of the greatest running backs of our time in Jerome Bettis and one of the greatest pass-rushers in NFL history, Michael Strahan.

12. 1999 Draft Class

Donovan McNabb and Champ Bailey both came out of this class and have had a ton of success in the NF,L as they were at the top of their position for quite a few seasons, while running backs Edgerrin James and Ricky Williams had their moments of stardom.

9. 2001 Draft Class

The 2001 class certainly had a ton of friend-end talent, such as Michael Vick, Drew Brees and LaDainian Tomlinson, but the players drafted in the second rounds and beyond never really panned out into anything special.

7. 1996 Draft Class

Just take a look at the names listed: Two of the greatest linebackers ever in Ray Lewis and Zach Thomas, one of the greatest running backs in Eddie George, one of the greatest wide receivers in Marvin Harrison as well as one of the most physical safeties to ever play the game in Brian Dawkins.

Why is this the greatest draft class in the last 25 years? Well, the draft consists of this generation's top running back, top wide receiver, top linebacker, top cornerback and top offensive tackle in Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, Patrick Willis, Darrelle Revis and Joe Thomas.

That's a possible four Hall of Famers mixed in with a deep list of talent led by Dwayne Bowe, LaMarr Woodley and Marshawn Lynch.
